You shouldn’t need any extra wiring as long as you’ve got the loom that came in the box you’ll be good to go. I believe if you have a MFSW there’s an extra loom which normally comes in the box too.
I would recommend doing the handbrake bypass - cut one of the cables on the loom and earth back to your Kenwood unit, I believe it’s the green one but it’s worth checking online.

Cool cheers mate but followed a guide that told me to connect the red cable to a fuse spur on ignition switched fuse, all works well but when I turn the lights on or indicators the stereo turns off!! Also a epc light is showing on the dash when key is first stuck in the ignition!! Can you help at all? What have I done wrong?
